How to connect VPN with PPTP? (SOLVED)

#1 Post by bwong3351 »

I am new to puppy Linux and is currently running 5.25 and can't get PPTP VPN connection going.

I find the post and follow the instruction at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 2140#42140 but doesn't seem to work.

After I start gttpt at step 4 I got "PPTP client (31955) exited with 0" and wen I issues an "ip addr" I do see

16: ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 3
link/ppp

So I assume the ppp connection is somewhat started.

But when I follow step 5 "route add -net ....." I got an network is unreachable error.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance

[update]
Puppy is running inside virtualbox and turn out Vobx can't forware GRE frame. So pptp will never work in NAT mode. I don't want the VM to use bridge network due to security concern. Looking into openVPN now

After you get exited with 0 Just type it in a consolle:

Code: Select all

ip route add default dev ppp0
your ip wil be tunnelled via your PPTP connection

[/code]
